I use backblaze too, started with the personal back up, but swapped to the B2 solution as it was supported by my NAS. The cost of the actual storage isn’t much, most of the cost is in access, so for data that doesn’t alter much it worked out just as cheap, and easier to do things that way.

Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms has an Android version. It’s F2P, though with many ways to buy stuff, but you can totally enjoy that game without spending a penny. Did so for years, though I eventually spent a few bucks as a thank you, given I have about 8000 hours logged on the steam version.

Also Watcher of Realms is a standout of the Gatcha like hero battlers which I much prefer to the likes of RAID.

Unsure of how much you need a Google acount though as I use mine for Android stuff anyways.

The wife and I are currently playing through Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. Tina has been making us laugh for years now, there’s something about Ashley Birch’s deliveries that just works. Quite a lot of the lines given to the PCs to say randomly as your are fighting are great too. Always hardest with a game that is meant to be funny, but they pull it off.

This is the Star Wars “parsecs” situation all over again!

I’d go down the route of so called ‘Walking Simulators’* though I use the term First Person Experiances, such as Dear Esther, Gone Home or maybe even Firewatch. Games were you can take you time and practice the feeling of movement. From there if you are looking to get into shooter style games go for something Co-Op. My wife and I started on Time-Splitters where she basically stayed back as a sniper whilst I ran in. (This was back in 98/99) From there we ended up going through Halo, Gears and eventually Borderlands as they came out. Anything where you have a bleed out / respawn mechanic is great.

*For me a walking simulator would be more like Octodad where you actually have to work at the walking! :D

Probably not quite what you meant but two monitors for Dwarf Fortress is a god send. Game on one screen, the other for DFHack console, Announcements, SoundSense, Dward Therapist, and various other utils. Could probably use 3 actually…

Have Indy on the go on the XBOX, but also returned to Foundation, which is still in early access but making good progress as a more informal town builder.

Yup, you can play the ‘post steam’ version via steam or free download and get the ASCII characters, however you are still forced to use the mouse to play it, which doesn’t work for me, so I stick with the old 47 release and just play that forever I guess!

Excellent, we will watch your career with great interest! ;)

I have some batch jobs on my windows machine that do it, so I guess I could go to the trouble of building my own container to run them, was just looking for an easy way out ;)

I’ll have to check this out. By any chance can you give it a Playlist and have it monitor it for changes and auto-download any new entries?

I’m not the OP but I like how you are thinking. Might look into this idea myself.

True, true it is just a deposit, but it certainly helps. Compared to England where I lived until I was 38 there are far fewer bottles littering the streets here in Denmark, although a lot of that can be put down to general public attitude probably. Never had a bottle stab me! Sounds like a case of bad quality control.

Oh wait… PANT & pants… So was being a bit slow! 😂

Normally one or the other is enough. Wearing both is 'more than needed" but does work as a safety net. :)

Maybe they make them better here in Denmark. Plus we have “Pant” where you pay more for the bottles but get money back when you return them so it’s a “belt and braces” approach I guess!

Perhaps becuase you’ve only opened it half way, you need to lift it back over again and clip in under the rim.

Love how, in this instance, the extra “toes” to the left of the picture actually add to the atmosphere of the creature.

Thanks, I’m spending a lot of time playing with all the skin ‘imperfections’ to try and avoid the “airbrushed model” look I seem to get by default. Which makes sense given the vat majority of content the AI has to work with I guess.
